Inspiration
Getting rid of trash in an environmentally friendly way seems to be a boring chore to most of us today. We all know that is is better for the environment, but do not have the motivation to recycle our trash. We wanted to construct a website that will make this process much more interactive and enjoyable for everyone!
What it does
The Project is simply a social media website that allows users to upload a picture of the trash they have, and by using Machine Learning, the item/material gets recognized. Next, the website takes the user to various links that show how to do fun crafts with it!
Challenges we ran into
We did not have much experience with frontend development, so we were experimenting with django and react to see which would work better. Also, a teammate who played a crucial part in developing frontend unfortunately left the hackathon early on.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are glad that we managed to create a final product after running into a lot of problems while coding. This helped us learn more topics and dive deeper into the concepts we are working with.
What's next for ReWaste
Implement a user base and try to make it more interactive.
